Is this portable or does it need an A/C cord

It does not have a battery if that's what your asking. It needs to be constantly powered through USB and needs to be connected to a device that can use its drivers, otherwise it wont work.

It's very portable. It's approximately the size of a dollar bill folded in 1/2 Horizontaly and in 1/2 again vertically. It is a bit chunky, and will block other USB ports; so I suggest using the included 3 inch extension cable.

I consider it quite portable, it is light weight, and we move it around the house all the time. I think it would travel well in a car, it is not huge or heavy. A good feature seems to be the way it doesn't drain the battery when left "on"... if no one is playing or it is not in auto play mode, it must shut down to preserve battery, even if you accidentally leave it in "on" position (which my granddaughter does all the time). We purchased the wall AC device but haven't ever felt a need to use it.

It does not take batteries, only AC power. I think portable refers the tiny size of it.

it is portable in that you could take it anywhere that you have an outlet. If you have a generator, you could plug it in and cook. As an aside, though, the first time we used this particular model, it blew out. Spend a few extra bucks and get a better model.

Yes, the quick start guide mentions an A/C adapter may be used but is not included.

Note that there is no A/C power plug. They use batteries only for headphones and base unit.

It is powered by a 110/120 volt A/C cord. No problems so far with many uses.

It is portable because the unit can be carried on to different spots where the power 120V AC outlet is available like in the office, the house or car (with 120V AC output plug). You're right it needs a standard 120V AC (household outlet) to make it work. Unlike other portable stuffs like portable CD, DVD...they can use it's internal compartment with batteries (DC powered)

Hello Susan. No, it isn't it needs to be connected to power. It's very nice but I don't consider it portable.

This unit does not have an A/C adaptor. We use it in a factory and it has held up very well.

Cindi, this player is AC only (household current). It does not operate on batteries so it is not meant to be portable in that sense. It is, however, surprisingly small and light and when using the HDMI cable it is easy to move to another room/TV. Just one cable to plug in besides the power cord. I am quite happy with mine.

This unit will not have a power cord with it. You must purchase one separately

It needs to be plugged in. It's portable and can be moved around the house, but it needs power.

HelloYou will need a cord, it's worth buying though because, it's a good tool and is easy to handle and is light. I hope this helps!

It requires a power adaptor to be plugged, but one comes with the item, however you will need an AC outlet nearby as the power cord is only 30 ins long or you can attach it to an extension cord.

This is not a cordless unit. It does require a portable cord to be plugged in to the unit in order to operate.
